Today was the fun Akagi JHS Culture Festa! Culture Festa is the Akagi JHS Culture Festival. In Japan, schools have culture festivals every year. These events are like an American Open House, but a culture festival is an all day event and the kids do plays and concerts. There is one more difference, it is entirely planned by the students. It was really fun. The most interesting thing was when 8th grader Azumi Miyazaki confessed her love to the math teacher, Mr. Matsushima, in front of the entire school in a WEDDING DRESS!!! Everyone, you did a great job.This evening, I practiced volleyball with the 30-somethings of the Akana area. Next month we have a volleyball tournement. We'll work hard!
